AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Display devices, particularly organic light-emitting displays, are prone to damage during transportation due to external forces and movements, as existing trays with hard guides can cause impact and vibration-related damage.

Method used

A tray design featuring cushion members with varying hardness layers, including a high hardness layer between low hardness layers, to absorb and distribute external forces, protecting the display devices by increasing duration and reducing impulsive damage.

Benefits of technology

The tray effectively cushions and protects display devices by absorbing impacts and vibrations, minimizing damage through the deformation of cushion members with layered hardness, ensuring safe transportation and storage.
